Archetype: The Intimate One — the wind moving over water, dissolving all barriers to true connection

Elemi's fresh, opening aroma carries the energy of Huan — the gentle wind that dissolves rigidity and separation. Like the wind moving over water, Elemi softens what has hardened, reconnects what has separated, and opens the heart to true intimacy and transparency. Source: Jonathan Benavides & Manuel Silva
